Major stages in making chemicals • A need for a chemical is identified. • A “pilot plant” is set up to find out the requirements for production. • Costs are considered and balanced with potential profit. • A proper chemical plant is built costing millions of pounds but creating a lot of jobs.
Acids and Alkalis What can we make from acids and alkalis ? Starter:sketch a pH scale and add on any information you know. Weak and strong acids Weak and strong alkalis Neutral Colour of universal indicator Numbers
recall the characteristic reactions of acids • write word and symbol equations for the reactions of acids • H: write balanced symbol equations for the reactions of acids
Acid Types Organic Mineral Nitric acid Sulfuric acid Hydrochloric acid (hydrogen chloride gas dissolved in water) • Citric acid (solid) • Tartaric acid (solid) • Ethanoic acid (liquid, vinegar)
Alkalis – what do you know ? Potassium hydroxide (KOH) Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) Calcium Hydroxide (CaOH)
Task • Complete the practical investigation.
Metals + acids • Metal + acid salt + hydrogen Magnesium + hydrochloric acid magnesium chloride +hydrogen
Acids and metal carbonates Acid + metal carbonate salt + carbon dioxide + water Hydrochloric acid Calcium carbonate Calcium chloride Carbon dioxide Water
Acids and metal oxides or hydroxides Acid + metal oxide salt +water Acid + metal hydroxide (OH) salt + water Hydrochloric acid Magnesium oxide Magnesium chloride Water
